20th treasure [text]

The only guests to my anniversary party were a big bunch of Krabbys, and they were only there for the food. I guess even after a whole year here, you can still reach new lows. That's actually kinda reassuring, in a very twisted way.

Ketchup isn't bad for crabs, right? Some of them are starting to look a little pale.

A few of them could be pleasant, but not many. I know I wouldn't mind hanging out with Whitney, but I understand that's not a very common opinion.

...not very common at all. How on earth did you manage to find her tolerable? Are you extremely forgiving of temper tantrums?

We share a favorite type. I never even got the temper tantrums, and her advice about Normal-types was extremely useful.

That would explain it, then. Perhaps things would have gone better if I was more invested in Normal-types beyond Smeargle and the ones that are part Flying, but I rather suspect it would have gone poorly either way.

Some personalities just aren't meant to get along. You only have to deal with her once unless you lose, at least.

If nothing else, there's that. Though, I hope she'll prove easy to avoid if the Gym Leaders ever decide to throw some sort of party for everyone again.

Don't worry. If it comes down to it I'm sure I can distract her a few minutes while others make their escape.

I believe I speak for the majority of the population when I thank you profusely in advance for this.

You're welcome. It's always my pleasure to work for the benefit of the rest of the world, especially when I can learn much from it.

Excellent. Hopefully the next gathering won't involve someone trying to rush us out of the area with the most sources of information, then.

That would be greatly appreciated. I mean, if they didn't want us in the library, they should have locked the doors instead of interrupting us while we read.

Given the host's general disposition, I'm sure she wanted to show off the vast resources she had without having it actually serve as a distraction from her.

Ah, that type of personality. Is she like that during badge challenges, too?

I wouldn't know, as I only recently obtained Whitney's badge. It really wouldn't surprise me if she was, though.

Lovely. Maybe I should acquire a few Dragon-types before I challenge her, just in case. Use them as a distraction.

I'm not sure if she'd take as kindly to that as Whitney did, to be honest. She seems like the sort who'd perceive that as you trying to upstage her.

...In that case, I might as well go the whole way and try to defeat her whole team with my Bibarel or my Raticate. If she'll feel upstaged either way...

Hah, yes. At least then you'll be able to get something of a sense of satisfaction out of it.

It would seve as an excellent opportunity for the younger members of my team, too. How to overcome typing disadvantages and statistical odds with hard work and good planning. They'd love it.

[...something about the way that's phrased should bother him on a deep personal level

but then again, this is all for the greater good]

You'll have to make sure it's recorded, you know. I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants to see this pulled off.

[Convert to the Badass Normal Through Hard Work side. Cooonveeert.]

That'll depend on my Pokémon, of course. A camera-shy Raticate will perform more poorly if he knows people are watching his every move.

[never]

That is true, yes. If you did want to go that route, you'd have to pick ones with appropriate personalities, perhaps.

My Furret, maybe. The base power difference should be just as impressive as it would be with Sharp or Stumbly, and she'd probably choke half of Claire's team unconscious with her hugs.

Which is as much as anyone can really ask for, to be entirely honest.

I'd bet she wouldn't expect that to happen, either.
